ABOUT THE TRAINER
Meet Our CDA Trainer, Ananda Barksdale
Hi, I’m Ananda Barksdale, a passionate CDA Trainer helping daycare employees and future early childhood educators build the skills, confidence, and credentials they need to succeed in the childcare field.
That’s why I created this program—to offer clear, supportive, and practical CDA training tailored specifically for those working in or entering the early childhood education field. Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow in your role, I’m here to walk alongside you through every step of the CDA credentialing process.
With a deep understanding of both early childhood development and adult education, my training goes beyond the basics. I strive to create an encouraging, real-world-focused learning experience that empowers you to turn your passion into a lasting career.
Together, we can raise the standard of care and shape brighter futures—one educator at a time.
OUR APPROACH
Empowering Educators, Nurturing Children
At the heart of our CDA training program is a simple but powerful belief: when we uplift early childhood educators, we elevate the quality of care for every child.
We are more than a training service—we are a community. Our mission is to create a supportive, inclusive space where current and future early childhood education professionals feel seen, valued, and equipped to grow. We believe that professional development should be accessible, engaging, and grounded in real-world experience—not just to meet requirements, but to inspire.
Our approach blends high-quality education with mentorship and connection. We meet every learner where they are, guiding them step-by-step toward their goals while building confidence, competence, and pride in their profession.
We’re here to walk this journey with you—not just as trainers, but as partners in your growth. Because when educators thrive, children flourish—and that’s the community we’re building, together.
